Depends on what you're shipping. I know with my tees, it's cheaper to have them lose it, make another and ship that - than it is to pay UPS or FedEx rates.
Paying 7+ dollars to ship something? That puts the kibosh on everything below $20.
Now shipping represents 35% of the price. It makes no sense for the consumer to buy it, unless it is really discounted, unavailable locally, or so far away gas is an issue.

I spoke with EBAY and funds are not release til 3 days after delivery confirmation, this is bull#^&#^&#^&#^&, they are making interest on peoples money now, and we are paying sellers fees on top of it...

There is NO interest paid today! Have you looked at your savings accounts maybe 1-2%, and checking 0.1%!

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Right but when you are holding millions of dollars you are getting more interest than that, and even at 1-2% it adds up at the end of the year..
2% on a million is 20,000 not chump change...
